Every time i run, i have pain in my left knee. It does not swell but it hurts on impact. This happens right as i start running, within 100 yards. I just started running to train, and i have tried insoles especially for knee pain from drug stores. I wear my running shoes everywhere but i just bought new ones and they are in the mail so i can have a pair only for running. if anyone has a serious answer please tell me because i need to start running. Thank you

Answer
try glucosamine chondroitin it is a supplement that helps with knee pain and other joint pains. you can get it at drug stores like walgreens or even at grociery stores like cub and rainbow. look for it in the aisle with vitamins

How to determine what type of arches and foot mechanics I have without going to a sports shoe store?

Copper Min

I live in a small mining town over 300 miles from a larger city. I want to order running shoes on-line but don't know where to start. I am having knee pain and suspect it may be caused by the shoes I am currently using. I plan to go to one of the stores that custom-fits shoes and insoles in a few months but need something in the mean time.

Answer
Well, the reason why people go to shoe stores to find out is because they have special equipment to see if you have high arches, etc. Maybe your doctor's office or ER will have one of these (I am not sure, so sorry if I am a bit off) but other than that, go for shoes that have extra support in the meantime. I weigh very little, but have BIG shoes with TONS of support that even look pretty clunky because I need the extra support due to my extremely high arches. Good luck!

I love running but I have knee pain problem after running. I was told an execellent and suitable pair of running shoes can help.

Answer
All running shoes are not the same. You should try on several pairs and see which are most comfortable for you. If you have a store near you that specializing in running shoes, go there and talk to a sales person. I was skeptical, but they can really help you find the best show for you. Also, may I suggest if you are running on roads, that you try trail running. Trail running is much easier on the joints, and your body will appreciate the lack of pounding that the pavement provides.

How much do your shoes affect your running?

Can they injure you? Can they make your legs feel tired or better? I dont know i suspect their the reason for my knee pain. Im going to get fitted for some new running shoes

Answer
Bad shoes teach you bad mechanics. Bad mechanics will slow you down, make you tired faster, and increases risk of injury. Shoes in general help teach bad mechanics though, since they inhibit the natural foot strike.
